Wendy Davis is a Nightmare

Why is Sen. Wendy Davis such a dangerous opponent? Texas Republicans have learned from hard experience that they should never, under any circumstances, express what they think about blacks and Mexicans. Women, however, are still fair game and Republicans are Akin’ to share what they think about Davis’ personal life.

Good, wholesome Texas women do not leave a husband behind in Fort Worth to go gallivanting off to Harvard. They do not let fathers raise children while they pursue a career. They most definitely do not stand up to ignorant, sexist bullies in the Texas Legislature, thwarting plans to shove righteousness into the dark unwilling places that resist it.

And if they do, you can be sure that “good” Texas women will be on the front line of the effort to hold their uppity sisters down while society enforces proper social order. Wendy Davis is not a good girl. Righteous Texas women do not approve.

Regardless of the election results in the race for Governor, this binge of bigoted moralizing cannot end well for Republicans at large.
